These checks are disabled, SA does not use plugins which are not loaded by its own mechanisms (by .pre or sometimes .cf files). > So it appears amavisd loads SA modules independently, not based > on the contents of .pre files: > bulwark# grep Mail::SPF /usr/local/sbin/amavisd > Mail::SPF Mail::SPF::Query NetAddr::IP URI Razor2::Client::Version > Mail::SPF Mail::SPF::Server Mail::SPF::Request ...

The plugin usage is disabled, despite being loaded. Either deinstall these modules and they will not get loaded, or edit the above list of modules to be pre-loaded, or just not worry about a small wastage of memory which never gets used. The problem is that there is no way for amavisd to know ahead of time which modules SpamAssassin will need, and some of these modules are not preloaded by SpamAssassin initialization, so they get loaded later with every child process creation, or when chrooted, such functionality just fails. The built-in list of modules to be preloaded consists of modules which SpamAssassin will likely need but fail to preload. Currently it is just a best guess, in absence of a better way.
